I can't say how accurate any of this is, being that I'm a total n00b, but my MINI has a functional hood scoop, which tells me I can probably block both the upper and lower grilles without messing with the car's cooling too much. I have makeshift grille blocks in place right now, and I took the car for a spirited drive today to see if the temp. indicator threw me any red flags, but I saw no problems. Any thoughts on whether or not to expect problems later?
